The Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton has today welcomed the fall in the number of people unemployed. 
 
He was referencing the latest figures published by the Central Statistics Office today which show that unemployment for September 2015 is at 9.4% or 205,300, down from 206,100 and 9.5% in August 2015 and from 10.9% and 233,400 a year ago. 
 
Miniter Bruton commented, "The figures published by the Central Statistics Office today show that this level of job-creation is continuing to have an impact on the unemployment numbers, with almost 30,000 fewer people now unemployed compared with a year ago. 

"Starting with today’s Capital Plan, and continuing with the forthcoming Budget and Action Plan for Jobs 2016, we will continue to implement strong and prudent policy measures to secure this recovery and deliver full employment so that everyone who wants a job in Ireland can find one.

"It is only by delivering a sustainable and prudent jobs recovery that we will ultimately be able to deliver increases in take-home pay and improvements in services that will allow families across the country to feel the benefits in their daily lives."
